  • What makes us do what we do?

    From Morningstarr@123:0/1 to All on Wednesday, April 22, 2026 18:22:24
    Sometimes, I wonder what makes us like to do what we do. People like all different things, some people like fashion, or math. What causes each person to have a drive, and to gravitate towards, different topics of interest? Why are we into bbsing? Is it really something that can make a comeback? Or something that can somewhat stabilize, and maintain a die hard crowd. Hopefully we pass it on, and can share with newcomers, so that they can keep it alive.

    Nobody answered this from April. So I will.

    What presently attracts me to BBSing:

    * TW2002, BRE, and some other door games keep me coming back.
    * Checking out unique places. Lot of different BBS's out there.
    * Interested in the experimentation of Sysops. Futurelaqnd.today certainly stands out.
    * Wanting to explore something other than HTTPS and the dying, AI dirr^H^H^H^Hriddled social media scene. Bascially sick of ai^H^Hit all.
    * Working on my own tech experiments, and want to see how BBSin'g ^H^H^Hg fits into that.

    Sorry, I'm having trouble with my backspace key.

    Anyway, those are my thoughts.

    I hope I can get my board up to par with future land. He has one of the best boards out there hands down.
